I still can't believe football doesn't use TV replays to decide on those occasions if a ball has crossed the line or not. It seems farcical when seconds later all those viewers at home can clearly see that the ball crossed the line. How hard would it be to introduce a rule where a fourth official watching on TV signals to the ref that the ball did in fact cross the line? Play wouldn't even have to be stopped.

Can't really see how it would help with diving incidents to be honest though as some of those are not at all clear cut even when viewing replays. Would seem fair though to introduce a rule where in cases of clear diving missed by the referee then retrospective punishments can be handed out - something like a year long ban ought to deter people. However I still think it's harsh as fuck on Eduardo as no such rule exists at present and why he was singled out is beyond me as there's been plenty more blatant ones in the last few years. Guess UEFA will do anything they can to impede the Premier League clubs Champions League aspirations this year.

And as for rugby, Quins deserve everything they get. Shame Leicester didn't get done too but they're a bit more subtle about it and Hipkiss wasn't stupid enough to wink when he came off with a "blood injury" moments before the penalty shoot out against Cardiff in the European Semi Finals last year.
